Application filed October 6, 1814'. Serial No. 865,275.

This invention relates to a device adapted to be quickly applied 'to a dressing table or bnrenn to supportan electric lightat each side thereof so that the dressing table will be perfectly illuminated.

Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a. front elevation of e dresser equipped with the invention; Fig. a side elevation of the some; Fig; 3 is ii perspective view of the clamp; 4 is an enlarged 'view showing the two lamps clamped to the side posts of the dresser, the posts being shown in section; Fig. 5 is a section on line an -w", F 1g. 4;; Fig.

6 is a section. through a square dresser post showing a slightly modified form of clamp used in connection therewith.

7 designates the dresser or other piece of furniture provided with side posts 8 which support the mirror 9. Detechablyconnccted to each post 8 is bracket 10 shown indetailin Fig. 3 and in section in Fig. 4. Where the post 8 is round the bracket will have a curved concave sent 11 lined With felt 1201* other material to prevent scratching, the

post 8. Fig. 6 showsn square pest and; in such a constitnction a bracket. 10 will be formed withs. square shoulder "11. Each bracket is hollow and hook-shaped and a. thumb screw 13 which is mounted in the bill portion of the bracket near the free end thereof is adapted to bear against the back side of the post 8 and firmly hold the bracket in position. Preferabl y'e. swivel 1.4 is em ployed to prevent merring the post. Each brackethas the free end of its shank threaded as at 15 and screwed into the threaded end is an incandescent lamp socket 16 secured by a set'screw 1?. Wires 18 and 19 extend through the bracket and are connested in the incandescent lamp socket 16 in the usual manner. -These wires extend across-behind mirror 9, as shown in Fig. 1

to the opposite bracket. The two brackets having the 'free ends of their bill 10 are similar in construction except that one of them is provided with a thimble 20 through which wires 21 and 22 extend which are respectively connected to wires 18 and 19. The wires 21 and 22 lead-to the ordinary Wall socket 23 as shown in Fig. 1. Sealing wax 24 is arranged Within the bracket.

Thus with this arrangement the room may yettlie brackets may be quickly attached to brightly illuminate the dresser by lights on either side thereof in a. manner similar to be only equipped with the wall socket 23 and that wherein regular wall lights are provided on either side of the dresser.

A great advantage of this device in addition to the foregoing is that it enables the piece of turniture to be moved about and still maintain the lights in regular position.

What I clfiirn is:

1. An electrical fixture attachment con prising e. pair of brackets, each of which is hookhoped, electric lamps secured to the shank portions ofthe brackets, said brackets ortions opposed, attaching screws mounte in the bill portions of the brackets, and a flexible electrical conductor permanently connected with the ends of the bill portions of the hook-shaped brackets and having. connec tion with the lamps.

2. An electrical fixture attachment ccmprising n hook-shaped hollow bracket hav inga screw-threaded shank portion, an electric light connected with the screw threaded shank portion, electrical conducting means mounted Within the hollow bracket extending out from the'free end of the bill portion thereof and having connection with the light, a binder contained within and filling the hollow bracket, and a set screw carried by the bracket near the free end of the bill portion thereof.

'ln testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at Los Angeles, California. this 1st day of October 1914.
